This week we’ve been observing the SIA’s case against guarding company Sabrewatch, which resulted in a guilty verdict. Sentencing takes place later today, and we’ll let you know the result when that’s in. Meanwhile, IPSA chief Justin ‘P’ Bentley says the SIA has missed a trick in not taking action against Sabrewatch’s clients.

Questions: Do you need a security job? Do you want to employs someone to do a security job? If the answer to either of these questions is ‘yes’ or ‘maybe’ or ‘perhaps’, then you should visit Jobs For Security. It’s a security jobs site. Jobs!

This week’s Song About Security comes courtesy of chirpy popsters Radiohead. Their pre- and post-millennial paranoia is totally justified, man!

Don’t forget to get your entries in for the 2010 IFSEC Security Industry Awards. If you win one you will be lauded as a godlike figure amongst your peers, and your enemies will be jealous and lose sleep etc. Enter! The deadline is soon.

Tomorrow is Friday. It’s Songs About Security day. What will tomorrow’s be? You will have this answer, and many more – some to questions you never thought worth asking – on your friendly neighbourhood security news hub, info4security.

Legend has it that winners of the Security Excellence Awards receive not only enormous dollops of credibility and kudos, but also free entry into a secret VIP members’ club when they get to heaven. I can’t prove it, but then I can’t really disprove it, either.

And to take our minds off matters of the flesh, we’ve got a piece on cold, hard metal. Metal covered in wet, dripping, forensic SmartWater. It’s helping to prevent metal theft. And the photo accompanying it looks like a work of art.

Today’s top news story manages to cram in some of the most exciting subjects known to man – metal theft; SmartWater; recycling; and rave-tastic photography. It’s only about a scrap metal recycling company using SmartWater’s forensic technology to check if its incoming metal has been stolen! Nice.

Another exciting thing is our dashing and debonair CCTV Doctor, Jon Hill of Siemens Security Products. This time around he’s answering common questions on lenses. Check out his engaging bedside manner.

Also, the BSIA is going walkabout, leading a delegation of UK security companies to the Middle East in March.

And then everyone’s getting prepared to go to important and thrilling security show IFSEC. Whilst there, the really smart cookies will get involved with the IFSEC Conference 2009. It’s full of information and discussion and networking and coffee and biscuits. Get some!

Here’s the thing. You should book yourself a place at the conference Securing Educational Establishments. Why? Isn’t my word good enough? Ok, well, it’ll be informative and useful and offer advice and talk about issues and things. See?
